Quick Fire Test: Fluoroquinolones

Question #15 answer

Which of the following FQs is not a good choice for treating urinary tract infections?

A. Ciprofloxacin
B. Delafloxacin
C. Levofloxacin
D. Moxifloxacin

NOTE: Delafloxacin does not have an FDA-indication for UTI, but 50-65% of the drug is exceted unchanged in the urine so it may have utility for this infection type. Only about 20% of moxifloxacin is excreted unchanged in urine, making it a poor UTI drug.
